Power Draw, Temperature and Clock Speed Analysis
We start off by testing how high our GPU clocks go as well as how much power our card uses in gaming use. We use the built-in benchmark in Returnal in 4K benchmark as well as Kombustor (when needed) for this tests so that users will have an idea what kind of usage behavior they can see from these cards. Returnal’s benchmark is impressive and gives a good idea on how certain scenario types afffect performance.
Given that most cards will boost all the way to their highest potential, the numbers we see here should be a good indicator of what to expect from these cards in general. Results are captured via inline power metering instruments primarily Powenetics v2 by Cybenetics/Hardware Busters for accurate card-only data capture. Occassionally, we use PCAT v2 (or v1) for FrameView-related functionalities. Powenetics v2 is the modern iteration of our original Powenetics system licensed from Cybenetics Labs and allows more thorough read-outs for the entire system including the CPU power, GPU power (+PCIe slot) and the system power overall. This removes the guess work from taking power readings from differing GPU APIs and provides consistent readings regardless of vendors.

Boss ano build reco mo sa 1440p gaming pc?
13400F + RTX 4070 literal na 1440 build ko sa utol ko recently 😀
Back2Gaming ayun salamats boss!
Back2Gaming may amd counterpart ba bossmac?
r5 7600 + pero 4070 pa rin if power efficiency build, if AMD-only then 7800xt
How about for SFF build: i7 14700 + RTX 4070 -or- go for 4070 SUPER build? worth the premium? Based on your review and est price parang hindi worth yung 4070 Super (~50K+) vs 4070 (NON-Super) which is now significantly discounted down to ~36k?
Jeff BP yung sa usage mo kasi is more on overall long-term build na eh since namention mo di lang ata gaming ung usage mo and definitely mas malaki upgrade potential mo down the line.
Ako personally feel ko di ako susugal sa Meteor Lake sa desktop and I dont think maglalabas ng bagong CPU si AMD sa AM5 bago mag 2025 haha so stick din ako sa 13900K + RTX 4080 sa personal rig ko
Kaya pa ba ng r5 3600 + 4070 1440p only?
magwork naman, if gusto mo unahin GPU before CPU upgrade to ryzen 5000 or talon AM5, better din yan. If long term naman, di naman sya ganun kabagal pero dapat aware ka na di mo masasagad ilang games
Jan Ishy Samaniego suggest ko 5800X3D
Miguel Araneta concerned ako kase itx lang sya naka noctua na low profile lang baka di kayanin tdp
valid concern nga yan, if yan concern mo pede mo na siguro endgame upgrade jan is 5800X pero only if 15k or less ung price. Other than 5700X3D na lang siguro altho wait for reviews since di pa naten alam themral behavior ng 5700X3D
Back2Gaming 4070 Super or 7800 XT? Hehe konti lang ata kasi difference sa performance e pero sobra mahal kasi 4070 super, or worth gastusan?
Childish Gambino right now? if di mo naeenjoy DLSS or di ka talaga nag-upscaling mas sulit 7800xt, 30W tradeoff lang sa power draw pero tolerable na siguro if di naman long-session lagi gaming mo, wag lang sana maglabnas ng tulad nung sa Counterstrike na issue uli si amd sa drivers nila na mababan ka dahil sa anti-lag nila
